In a significant development to an ongoing patent dispute, Lynk Labs Inc. has requested the Federal Circuit to dismiss a brief that has been provided by the High Tech Inventors Alliance. This brief was given in favor of Samsung in a case revolving around a Patent Trial and Appeal Board challenge to a Lynk Labs LED patent, which the technological colossus Samsung had won.
The High Tech Inventors Alliance’s intervention in the dispute came under scrutiny from Lynk Labs. According to Law360’s exhaustive coverage of the case, Lynk Labs alleged that the alliance is acting as a ‘mouthpiece’ for Samsung. This request to the Federal Circuit brings a new layer of complexity to an already intricate legal battle.
The ultimate ramifications on patent laws and possible impacts on the LED industry remain to be seen as we continue to follow this evolving story.
